From the IT guy to a daily wage worker, in India, the love for tea is shared by all equally. This aromatic beverage has become part of the lives of almost every Indian family. People start their day with a cup of tea, which works like a magical energy drink and makes you feel fresh almost instantly!
This picture that I clicked on the famous Chandni chowk street of Old Delhi depicts the same energy and a sort of passion that you find in people for Tea.
A good tea maker is a local celebrity in any area where people flock in numbers to enjoy the drink.
Tea spots also called "Chai ki Tapri " locally, are places of intense political, and social discussions. These places also work like public spheres where many debates and discussions occur.
With changing the world in some places, the middle class in cities are going to Chai bars which are decorated shops.
But, although this change might have affected a small number of the middle class in the country, the wide and large population still prefers those roadside stalls that embrace everyone equally.
